Victorian Ribbed Glass Ink Bottle with Pen Rest – Stillroom Bottles Collection- #10

Victorian Ribbed Glass Ink Bottle with Pen Rest – Stillroom Bottles Collection 

A small relic of careful work and handwritten letters, this Victorian clear glass ink bottle carries the charm of the everyday artist and scribe. Its ribbed side was thoughtfully shaped to double as a resting place for a quill or dip pen — an elegant and practical touch from another era.

Hand-blown with an applied lip, this piece is full of lively character — from the tiny air bubbles caught in the glass to the subtle unevenness that hints at the artisan’s hand. A very small chip on the ribbed pen holder speaks not of flaw, but of honest service in a life once lived.

Perfect for resting in the sunlight, holding a few wildflowers, or storing precious oils with a cork added — a versatile and sentimental piece of Victorian history.
